Current Employee – been working at University of Central Arkansas

Pros – Faculty are very nice, and always compliment me on how great of a job I do. My boss is awesome. You get the responsibility of making sure the building is clean for the following day. The benefits are really good. The students are nice too. Couldn't ask for a better place to work.

Cons – Salary isn't as good. Could be paid more for what we do. Parking is terrible, especially around Lewis Science. Can't seem to find a space when needed in faculty/staff parking areas due to the fact that students park there illegally. PD doesn't drive around enough around these areas to give tickets. Not enough recognition for doing a great job.

Advice to Senior Management – Fix the parking problem. Staff shouldn't have to drive around to find a space, then end up parking in the back parking lot, causing us to be late. We need a pay increase or at least a raise. Some kind of incentive for us working here. Make us feel like we make a difference working here.

Pros – UCA offers tuitiion reimbursement, so you can continue your education. They have some great Masters level and PhD level programs. The workout facility is nice and the campus is beautiful.

Cons – UCA is a challenging place for minorities. Also, you are often required to work a huge amount of overtime without being compensated.

Advice to Senior Management – Have your management lever personnel take a management course where they are informed of the laws regarding weekly work schedules. Also, upper management needs to be trained on topics pertaining to diversity and race relations.

Current Employee – been working at University of Central Arkansas

Pros – Learned a lot about troubleshooting computers and gives me need experience before I graduate. Great college compared to others I've been too.

Cons – You can not expect much as a student worker. I really don't have any complaints except that the students you work with are young and not self motivated.

Advice to Senior Management – I think management does what it is allowed to do to the best of its ability. Now when a president is chosen, I don't think the good ol' boy network should be considered.
